The skin is the largest organ in the human body, and collagen is the most crucial protein within it. Collagen is also the primary protein in connective tissues, including cartilage, tendons, and ligaments. It is the substance that literally holds our bodies together. Collagen is composed of several specific amino acids, such as alanine, proline, glycine, and hydroxyproline, which align in precise ways to create a protein web that structures these tissues. Collaborating with elastin, keratin, and other nutrients, collagen helps provide skin its suppleness, bones their strength, and tendons and ligaments their firmness and elasticity. This, in turn, supports healthy joint function, mobility, agility, and range of motion.

As we age, our ability to naturally produce adequate amounts of collagen decreases. This is why we begin to develop wrinkles, weakened joints, more fragile bones, and thinner skin. However, supplemental collagen may help replenish normal collagen levels and support the health of the skin, cartilage, bones, tendons, and ligaments. Vitamin C can also encourage the body to create normal, healthy collagen levels.

Collagen is the primary structural protein in the body's connective tissues. It plays a vital role in maintaining the function of cartilage, tendons, and ligaments, which keep joints working properly. Sufficient quantities of biotin are also needed for healthy hair and skin. Collagen accounts for approximately 25% of the total protein in the human body, and is often referred to as the 'glue' that holds the body together. Without it, the body would quite literally fall apart.

The suggested use for this product is for adults to take three capsules daily as a dietary supplement.
